Instead, Turner ended up in Indiana, while the Spurs — despite their best efforts, it seems — stood pat outside of picking up journeyman Austin Daye in exchange for fourth-string point guard Nando De Colo.

Turner has been solid but unspectacular with the Pacers, averaging 9.3 points on 47.2-percent shooting in nine appearances he was swapped for Danny Granger. But his 11.9 Player Efficiency Rating is below par, and the Pacers have won just five of those games.

The Spurs, meanwhile, have been on a major tear, winning seven straight since the return of Kawhi Leonard and 10 of 11 overall to claim the NBA’s best record.

What does this tell us?

A. When healthy, the Spurs appear to be as good as any team in the NBA.

B. Sometimes the best move is the one you don’t make.

Not to say the Spurs’ wouldn’t have been successful with Turner. And we won’t know until the playoffs whether they could have used some new blood or not.

But considering how well this team has played with its full roster, fiddling with it very well could have been counterproductive.
